That whole thing was handled in a genuinely smart and funny way. The fact that she used the Republican thing as an excuse to get out of the relationship because he didn't like her essay ends up pointing to some good questions about politics & style. And especially since what he objected to was a lack of genuine plot/substance in her writing, the whole thing comes around to thinking about the show itself and how divisive it is.

I don't think I can watch Girls any more. It seems like it's just one giant camera-mugging fest, with hipster-centric references, easy/crowd-pandering cameos, and attempts to make being a 20-odd underemployed college graduate a nerve wracking but desirable thing. Unfortunately, I still do enjoy it.

+1 to all of this except maybe for the last bit. The general aimlessness just doesn't appeal to me. It's a wonder that I still watch every week.

The scene where Brian Williams´ daughter gets naked to fuck the gay guy was pretty bad. I mean, it was great that she showed her body a little, but at the same time it was so fake and you could see she wasn´t playing her part, she was being herself not wanting her breasts to show. What girl covers them like that when getting naked??
